Comment (by joedolson):

 Discussed this in the #a11y meeting today, and agreed that there are only
 two practical options for an initial focus.

 1) Add a 'cancel' button as the first focus item, with text like `Bulk
 editing ''n'' posts. Cancel?`

 2) Add a focusable paragraph with text like `Bulk editing ''n'' posts.`,
 to give people context for where they've landed.

 This is an important change for usability of bulk editing for
 accessibility, so this needs to be settled in some way. The focusable
 paragraph doesn't necessarily need to be visible, as this is primarily to
 provide a keyboard focus landing point and screen reader context.
